It’s a showdown at the PDP National Secretariat as governors of Bauchi and Oyo states have clashed with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike with both parties attempting to take over the National secretariat of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party in the Wuse Zone 5 District of Abuja.
It was gathered and reports that security operatives loyal to the FCT Minister and Governors Seyi Makinde and Bala Mohammed embarked in a free for all or who would take possession of the PDP National Secretariat with a rainfall of teargas pumped around the vicinity by both parties.
While Governor Makinde stormed the venue with the newly elected National Secretary, Taofeek Arapaja, Nyesom Wike stayed put with Samuel Anyanwu, the embattled National Secretary of the party who insists his tenure is still in place till December 8, 2025.
Party leaders are now expressing worry over the development accusing the Police of not being neutral in the leadership crisis facing the Peoples Democratic Party.
The PDP has been divided into at least two major factions. One faction last week held a national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, which elected a new leadership, including Kabiru Turaki as National Chairman. This group now insists on taking control of the secretariat.
The other faction, aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is challenging the legitimacy of the Ibadan convention.
This faction, which includes members like Samuel Anyanwu and led by Abdulrahman Mohammed (as an Acting National Chairman in a parallel structure), has also been attempting to assert control over the party’s offices. The faction also scheduled today to hold its congress claiming they ae the authentic arm of the party.
